Boxing and superheroes! The two most awesome things in the world(at least that I can think of right now)! Why aren’t there more covers like this? Now that I think about it, why isn’t there more boxing in superhero comics. Why isn’t there more Wildcat!!

Now, I never read the Blue Beatle – Guy Gardner comic, but who won? I would say that BB could dominate GG with superiour footwork and long jabs and crosses, if he could only avoid getting into brawls. I imagine Ted Cord was a pretty good out fighter, but let Guy get in close and personal and he would dominate. Did Cord have the patience to stay out of reach and beat Gardner on points? Now I’m dying to find out!

Unfortunately, this was when Ted was going through his chubby phase, so he wasn’t at the top of his game. Plus, Guy fought dirty. It didn’t come anywhere close to the glory of “one punch”, unfortunately..

I figured a good place to post my idea of a boxing related superhero storyline, bit of a
mix of the two. Looking for feedback on the premis of 3 guys given abilities all different style
fighters (boxer, kickboxer, mixed mma) and they fight crime and other “boxing” type adversaries.

Looking for feedback, questions etc. Figure comic book fans would be the best place to start asking

Cheers

I know for sure there is a Fantastic Four cover that has the Thing punching the Hulk in a boxing ring. Johnny is cheering wildly in the foreground while Reed is reaching out to restrain Ben from behind. I don’ t have this issue myself, but I distinctly remember seeing it as an ad when I was a child. At the time, I don’t think I even knew who the characters were, but it just looked cool!
